Long shot this, but has anyone who is selling a bike on the buy/sell forum, had a possibly dodgy email yesterday or today with regards to buying your bike and the buyer sending their own courier to collect? I have more detail than this but I'm reluctant to go into further detail without confirmation.
Just wondered if I was the only one or if I'm being paranoid.....
surely that's better, as soon as it is collected it's not your responsibility.
Yep, I got one this morning too. Michael Malo? So obviously a scam. The only thing missing was a reference to a Nigerian army colonel.
Not had the email (but not selling anything anyway) but it's a commonish scam, as you'll have no proof of postage so they can claim back through paypal when "it doesn't arrive"
Kevin1911 yep Michael Malo! Thank you for solving my paranoia !
Yep, me too. Ignored it.
@oliverracing yes I thought something similar. Dirty barstewards. Hope they don't fool some poor mug.
Reported, hopefully mods can make this a sticky in the classifieds?
Yes had this on road cc classified they would send chequeto cover sale item with extra to cover payment to his courier was selling item for £500 cheque arrived for £2000. Got bank to check it was a forged company cheque
Yeah me too, have a Google of his name and read the entry in the urban dictionary.
